I have a Supermicro P6DBS motherboard that has SCSI built into it. The SCSI is Adaptec AIC7895. I am planning on installing and using SuSE, but am not sure I will be able to since I did not see support for the AIC7xxx SCSI driver on SuSE's web site. My CD ROM drives are both SCSI and I will need them. Is anybody running SuSE with a Supermicro P6DBS motherboard? Or, does anybody know if SuSE would recognize my SCSI controller? I don't want to buy it and not be able to use it if it won't work with my system.
The aic7xxx module is built into the 2.4 kernel. SuSE 7.2 should pick this up automatically when you start the installation (I know this from experience). If it doesn't, you can specify the module/hardware driver during the install (linuxrc). Just aic7xxx on its own will suffice. There is an IRQ hack for Tyan II mainboards (aic7xxx=7895_irq_hack:-1) but I doubt that you need this. M
